Rob Malley: Iran Has Separated Nazanin Zaghari from Her Family for Over Two Thousand Days
The U.S. State Department’s Special Representative on Iran issued a statement noting that for more than two thousand days, the Iranian government has kept Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe separated from her family.
Rob Malley continued in the message released on Thursday, the first day of Mehr month: “Today she experiences this unimaginable distance alongside prayer-goers and others.”
The U.S. State Department’s Special Representative on Iran added: “We call on Iran to release all those who have been wrongfully detained and reunite them with their families.”
Currently, in addition to Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, Morad Tahbaz, Mehrdad Afshari, and Anoosheh Ashoori, who are Iranian-British citizens, several other dual and multiple nationality citizens, including Emad Sharqi, Siamak Namazi and his father Baquer Namazi (Iranian-American citizens), Ahmadreza Jalali (Iranian-Swedish researcher), Masoud Mossaheb and Kamran Ghaderi (Iranian-Austrian citizens), and Nahid Taghavi (German-Iranian citizen), are imprisoned in Iran.
